Chargers’ second half

POST GAME: Jason Hill had 2 catches for 33 yards and a score. “I’m making plays other receivers aren’t making.” Hill might have played himself back onto the team.

In his post game comments, coach Mike Singletary said he’ll have to look closely at the third tight-end spot between Joe Jon Finley and rookie Bear Pascoe. Good night everybody.

Chargers Drive: Charlie Whitehurst enters the game at cornerback and just hands Gartrell Johnson, who popped loose for an 18-yard gain to key the drive. The backup linebacker Scott McKillop and Justin Roland aren’t getting it done. Rookie seventh-round pick is making some big hits at safety. He looks like a practice squad candidate. It’s 16-7.

49ERS Drive: A three and out for the 49ers. Their game management and play-calling is iffy. They had three timeouts at the end of the first half and didn’t call one with about 1:23 left before Davis bailed out the coaches by throwing a TD pass. And now, they keep trying the screen pass, which they haven’t hit on. By the way, first-round pass rusher Larry English looks good for San Diego.

Chargers Drive: Horrible call by the refs. The 49ers got their first non-team sack of the preseason. Khalif Mitchell kocked the ball from Whitehurst and the 49ers recovered. Officials said it was Chargers’ ball. The 49ers get victimized by another 40-yard P.I. this time on rookie Tarrail Lambert. The team toughens in the red zone for another field goal by Kaeding. It’s 19-7.

49ers Drive: Another three and out by the 49ers. Davis was 0-for-2 on that drive.

Chargers Drive: On the 17th play of the drive, Briggs gets a sack, a fumble and the 49ers recover. He saves a very tired defense. Marques Harris gets a sack! But it’s negated by Eric Green’s illegal hands to the face. That’s the third damaging penalty on the secondary that’s resulted in a first down. Harris has showed some energy as a pass rusher and he’s been busy with his special teams responsibilities. The Chargers are on their way to another scoring drive. Johnson runs over Reggie Smith. This defense looks tired and Gartrell Johsnon is just churning up the 49ers. This suddenly looks the Raiders defense that can’t stop anyone.

49ers Drive: Hey Bear Pascoe is in the game. Another three-and-out. The 49ers are certainly trying to perserve their players. Wide receivers Maurice Price and Dobson Collins are in the game now. That might be why Nate Davis isn’t moving the team.

Chargers Drive: This is getting difficult to watch. This defense is exhausted and they simply can’t do anything against the Chargers. Most of the guys out there right now won’t make the team. Diyral Briggs got hurt after a fumble recovery return that was negated by Briggs being offsides. Mike Singletary has just had a slow burn going on the sidelines. These 49ers are going to get four days off following this game, and they’ll need it. TD by Chargers. It’s a blow out 26-7.

49ers Drive: This game fittingly ends with an interception in the end zone where Davis was trying to throw to fullback Rentmeester. The 49ers got down into scoring territory because of pass interfernece on cornerback Antonio Smith, who was guarding Jason Hill. Davis had Rentmeester open but underthrew him and the ball was knocked away and picked.

The preseason is over, the 49ers will now get four days to recover and prepare for their opener in Arizona.
